Production & Heritage

Clapback @ME Apple is produced in Moldova, a country with one of the oldest and most deeply rooted winemaking traditions in Eastern Europe, dating back over 5,000 years. The wine is crafted with apple flavoring that leans into a distinctly sour-apple character, bridging the gap between traditional wine and the modern flavored wine segment. At 18% ABV, it sits at the higher end of the flavored wine spectrum, offering more body and warmth than many competitors in the category.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh green apple peel leads the nose, followed by light citrus zest and a subtle candy-like tartness. The overall impression is bright and inviting, with a clean fruitiness that doesn't veer into cloying territory.

Taste: The palate opens with a crisp, juicy burst of sour apple that immediately grabs attention. At mid-palate, a mellow wave of sweetness rounds out the tartness, creating a balanced push-and-pull between sweet and sour. The 18% ABV provides noticeable warmth without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

Finish: The finish is smooth and moderately short, with lingering green apple and a faint citrus brightness. It leaves a clean, refreshing impression that invites the next sip.

How to Drink @ME Apple

Serve well-chilled, straight from the bottle or poured over ice for maximum refreshment. The sweet-tart apple profile also lends itself to simple mixed drinks.

• Apple Spritzer: Top with club soda and a squeeze of lime — the carbonation amplifies the crisp tartness.
• Caramel Apple Cocktail: Mix with a splash of caramel-flavored vodka for a dessert-style sipper that leans into autumn flavors.
• Green Apple Sangria: Combine with sliced Granny Smith apples, white grape juice, and ice — the wine's bold apple flavor anchors the punch.
